Enemy Ace

Born into an aristocratic German family, Hans Von Hammer was one of the first to enlist in the countrys service during the early days of World War One. While a cadet at flight training school, Von Hammer was provoked into a duel of honour by fellow cadet Heinrich Muller, and recieved a permanent scar across his left cheek.

Graduating with honours from flight school, Von Hammer quickly became Rittmeister of his own Jagstaffel (hunting squadron)17.

An exceptional flyer, with an unequalled 70+ kills to his record during his flying career, Von Hammer was also a man with a rigid code of morals and honour learned from his father, and he would frequently refuse to shoot an unarmed or wounded foe, feeling that would be murder not combat.

A loner by nature, Von Hammer spent much of his time wandering the Black Forest, often in the company of a silent Black Wolf that Von Hammer considered a kindred spirit and his only true friend.

Believing that "The sky is the killer of us all" Hans Von Hammer fought with courage and ingenuity. It is thought that Von Hammer did not survive the final days of World War One, himself becoming a victim of the "killer skies."
